A celebration of the marvellous and of illusion, a prerogative of the Baroque, this re-creation of Lully's opera, dedicated to the son of the Sun, by Vincent Dumestre and Benjamin Lazar, enchants us with its costumes that are a cross between the Baroque and the contemporary, its singular and striking make-up, and its original phrasing restored, en bon françois!
